a clear reference to north korea. to my knowledge, that is the first time the president of china has ever implicitly criticized north korea. what we should do right now is make clear that what north korea has done, it will not get rewarded. far from it, it will have the international community come together in a consensus around it. at some point in the future, of course, it has always made sense for us to negotiate. we have tried, by the way. we did in the clinton administration, we signed an agreement with them. even the bush administration signed two agreements with them. they broke all of them. they cheated on all of them. this is a country that right now shut down a joint industrial park with south korea, which was giving them $90 million, which was employing 1 in 6 of the north koreans in that city. why? nobody really upses. nobody really understands. remember, this is a regime that has starved 2 million of its own people. it's easier to say we should negotiate with them. practically it hasn't achieved very much

not even to south korea. he told me that if they were going to threaten south korea with any kind of nuclear device, and they probably have about four to eight plutonium devices, he thinks, that would have to be delivered by truck, plane or boat. he does not believe they have the ability to put it on any missiles right now. but they are perhaps working on that in order to deter the united states. wolf? >> fareed, i think these -- this new dia assessment is pretty chilling. but let's get back a little bit to what ban ki-moon told me. he said he would be willing to go to north korea and speak directly with kim jong-un, and when i asked him to speak in korean to the north korean leader, you heard what he had to say. he made that direct appeal. i suspect that kind of gesture is precisely what the north korean leader kim jong-un would like to see, to get that kind of respect, if you will, despite the provocative steps he's taken in recent days. >> oh, clearly this is a search for legitimacy, credibility. but wolf,
